Hagan had published an article reflecting on the character
of Judge Adams, the father of D. W. A'dams, and the latter
firmed hiniself and met Dr. Hagan while on his way from
his boarding house to his office, just after dinner. Adams
struck the'Doctor with a cane, a scuffle ensued, and both
parties fell. Dr. H. being uppermost, Adams then drew
a pistol and shot the former in the back of the head, killing
him instantly. Dr. Hagan, it is said, was unarmed, and
as Mr. Adams, sought-him with arms, evidently with the
intent to -kill him, it seems to be a clear case of murder,
and his own life will probably pay the forfeit of his crime.
Adams has been arrested and held to bail in tjje sum of
86,000.
West India. Pirate. Capt. Stoddard of the Schr.
Dante was chased near Jamaica, by a piratical vessel
having a large number of men on board- but owing to the
peed of his vessel, escaped. Capt S reported at Kingston
that he had seen a suspicious-looking schooner off that
port on the 4th May.
Mexican Bonds. The English papers mention that
the "Mexican bonds continue to recede, as the holders think
Ihe.present position and resources of Santa Anna any thing
but favorable to their claims, and the recent overtures of
his London agents, urging the acceptance of two-thirds of
the amount now due, in additional bonds, not being calcu-
lated to inspire much confidence for the future."
Milwatjkie. This town, in which the first frame
house was built eight years ago, now contains four thou-
sand inhabitants. Two hundred and fifty dwelling houses
were erected last year, and it is estimated that three or
four hundred will be erected this year. Wisconsin is fast
-outstripping Texas in population, although eight years
agonhe population of the latter was more than twice that
of the former.
Canadian Defaulter. The New York Tribune
states that Mr. Silas Burnham, after committing forgery
to a great extent-in Toronto, U. C, absconded, with, it is
supposed, 5,000 or 6,000 specie. He left Toronto on
the 14th May for Niagara, and it is supposed isun his way
to Texas. We huve not heard of his arrival here, but if
ie has emigrated to Texas, we hope the Governor of
Canada will make a requisition for him of President
Houston. Texas although much in want of hard money,
-wants no such "hard customers." I
Mexican Brig. One of the Philadelphia papers
mentions that the United States brig JefiJrson, was bought
on the 20th ult., by the Mexican consul, with the inten-
tion of adding her to the Mexican Navy. She is 140 tons
burthen and'five-years old. She was bought for 2,500
including her armament and furniture. He ought also to
have purchased a crev, if he wishes her to be of any ser-
vice in the Gulf.
Horrid death. A man who was backing his horses
into theNiagara river to take in a load of sand, was swept
away by the current, and carried with one of his horses
over the great cataract 1
Comet. Astronomers have demonstrated that the rev-
olution of the late comet in its orbit is only 21 years and
seve'n eights. They say it will return in December
1864, and will aflbrd a more splendid spectacle than
it did in March last. M. Arago the celebrated French
astronomer, calculated that this, comit jusU grazed; trfe
sun. According to the calculations of other astronomers,
ihejcoinit hit the sun, or rather its dense atmosphere
and glancetl off, having been turned into a. new orbit by
the collision.
Mexican Steamboats. The Steamboat Southerer,
which was formerly a packet running between New Or-
leans and Mobile, left New Orleans for Vera Cruz on the
2nd insL She bad in tow the hull of the small iron steam
boat Rebecca, formerly used as a ferry boat. A rumor
was circulated in New Orleans that these vessels were
destined for the Mexican fleet at Carapeche, and were
loaded with coal for the war steamers Guadaloupe and
Montezuma. This however, we are happy to learn is
untrue. The Tropic says: "The two boats were pur-
chased by the house of Le Grand Freres of Alvarado. by
one of the establishment here in person. Mons. Le Grand
with his lady were passengers on the Southerner from this
port. The purchase of these boat, was altogether a pri-
vate enterpise, and they took barely coal enough to last a
voyagsof ten "days: The small boat, the Rebecca, is in-
tended to pi v in the river below Vera Cruz, and the South-
erner will run as a packet betwen "Vera Cruz and Alvara-
do. European News. The ship Acadia arrived at
Boston on the 1st insL, and brought Liverpool dates to
the 19th May. The news is unimportant. An animating
debate arose on the 8th ult. in the British House of Com-
mons relating to the revenue. It appears that the annu-
al revenue of Great Britain has fallen off in all the de-
partments, and there would have been a deficiency of
several millions but for the receipt of the income tax and
the Chinese indemnity.
The agitation of the Irish Repeal is making alarming
progress in Ireland. Mr. O'Connel has neglected to at-
tend the House of Commons, and remains at home or-
ganizing the Repeal party. The Catholic clergy have join-
ed 'hira in great numbers. Tens of thousands are openly
advocating the Repeal and supporting O'Connel, and the
country seems to be in as critical condition as in 1829.
"The doctrine of Repeal is now openly denounced as trea-
son by a portion of the Conservative press, and the strong
action of the government is invoked for its suppression.
Business in the manufacturing districts remains station-
ary, and the profits are light. Prices of cotton and the
demaricl for cotton manufactures has not in the least ad-
vanced. .The crops are unusually promising throughout all
Europe. t
China. The news from China is to the 22nd March.
The only item of importance is that a number of pirates
infest the seas in the vicinity of Canton.
India. Advices have been received from Bombay to
the 28th March, mentioning that Sir C. Napier had de-
feated the Ameers in a desperate battle, which lasted three
duvs. The loss was great on both sides. The Eeloo-
chffis had 'thrown a chain across the Indus and erected
fortifications to defend the river on both sides. Tfte
Gjvernor General of India has declared that hencefor-
ward the province of Scinde shall constitute a portion of
the British Territory.
The comet made a magnificent appearance in India in
the beginning of March.
The French government has sent out a small armanent
and about 200 emigrants to the Marquesas Islands.
They will probably chastise the natives who murdered
l'ie French Governor of those islands a few months since,
while, on a visit to the King Nicahivar.
tStiWBii'fflg
Frost in June. A heavy white frost covered the
earth in the vicinity of Baltimore, on the morning of the
2nd insL, and a frost was noticed in the vicinity of Louis-
ville, in Kentucky, on the same day.
Garden Thieves. Several of the gardens in the
city have suffered from the depredations of thieves. The
rogues, not satisfied with robbing one garden of the mel-
ons, actually pulled up all the vines! We understand
that several gentlemen have set traps in their gardens to
prevent similar thefts.
Cotton Manufacture in Mexico. The Mexi-
can Government is endeavoring, by a protective system,
to extend the manufacture of cotton in that country. The
National Intelligencer publishes the following transla-
tion of a report relating to this subject:
'In compliance with the exactions of the Government
circular of the 10th of January, issued by the General Di-
rectory of Home Industry, I report upon the fabric of cot-
ton cloths established at Ojo de Agua, near Peffon Blanco,
as follows :
"The manufactory is in the department of Durango, at
twoIeagnes from the town of Peffon Blanco. It is the
property of a company composed of the following indivi-
duals: Juan Maria Floresand Inacio Nessera, of Mexi-
co: Basilio Menderosquets and Ignacio Mijares, of Du
rango. The establishment cost 6185,000; has been in
operation twenty-two months: and is composed of forty
looms of forty inches, four mules of three hundred spindles, i
and ten throstles of one hundred ami thirty-two. It is
driven by an abundant and regular head of water capable '
of carrying twenty looms more.
"Each loom produces in ten hours a piece of thirty two f
yards sf manta, (probaply -shirting.) The production of i
the quarter year has been 4,024 pieces of manta and 2,785
lbs. of thread No. 24.
"About two hundred hands are continually employed,
and many more than can -be supplied with work are al-
ways offering themselves. A month's practice is always
sufficient to make them skilful enough for the several
I tasks.
I "In wages 8400 are disbursed every week, without in-
cluding the pay of superintendants ; which amounts to
near $10,000 the year.
"During the year 24,000 arrobas of cotton are worked
on, without night work; and 40,000 would be if the mill
was run by night also.
"Last year the greater part of the cotton crop was lost,
and we could not provide ourselves with stock enough for
the current year; the price advancing from twelve reals
to eighteen and twenty.
"The undertaking is capable of being pushed with ad-
vantage ; but the large outlays which we have been forced
to make, in order to sustain it, have forbidden additonal
improvements. Yet we propose them, if the Supreme
Government continues the protection to the rising industry
of the nation which it has began."
While Slaves. In Mr. Carlyle's last work, "Past and
Present," there are some excellent hits at the ill directed
zeal of some of the Humanitarians of the-age. The fol-
lowing passage aimed at the "World's Convention" and
Exeter Hall folks in general, and their protoges, such as
the notable George Thompson, &c, has more satiric
humor than he usually displayed. Bait. Patriot?
"Oh! Anti-Slavery Convention, loud-sounding, long-
eared Exeter Hall! Black Quarhee over the seas being
once sufficiently attended to, wilt thou not perhaps open
thydull sodden eyes to the sixty thousand valets in London
itself who are yearly dismissed to the streets to be what
they can when the season ends or to the hunger stricken,
pallid, yellow colored 'free laborers1 in Lancashire, York-
shire, Buckinghamshire, and all other shires! These
yellow colored, for the present, absorb all my sympathies.
If I had twenty millions, with model farms, and NJger
expeditions, it is to these that I would give it. Ojuashee
,has already victuals, clothing; Q,uashee-is notdyingof
such despair as the yellow colored pale mans. Quashee,
it must be owned, is hitherto a kind of blockhead. The
Haiti Duke of Marmalade, educated now for almost half
a centur', seems to have next to no sense in him. Why,
in one of these Lancashire weavers, dying- of hunger,
thero is more thought and heart, a greater arithmetical
amount of misery and desperation than in whole gangs of
Gluashees. It must be owned, thy eyes are of the sodden
sort; and with thy emancipations and thy twenty million-
ings, and thy long eared claraorings, thou, like Robes
pierre with his pasteboard Etre Supreme, threatenest to
become a bore to us, Avec ion Eire Supreme tit, com-
mences m' embeter !"
Old Hundred. The music, in harmony of four parts,
of this venerable and deservedly popular church-tune,
was composed by Claude Goudimel, about the year
1554. The composer was chapel-master at Lyons,
France, died in 1572 a victim of religious opinion. The
harmony of this hymn has since been altered, (not for the
better,) as may be seen by comparing the same as arrang-
ed in the present collections of church music with the origi-
nal. It is a popular musico-historical error that Martin,
Luther was the composer of this noble choral. Nat.
